(b)  subordinate any or all of the Junior Debt or its proceeds to any sums owing
     by the Company to any person other than to the Senior Debt,

16.1 RIGHTS ADDITIONAL

     The rights and remedies provided in this Deed are cumulative and not
     exclusive of any other rights or remedies (whether provided by law or

                                      -11-


     ambiguity or conflict between the rights conferred by law and those
     conferred by or pursuant to this Deed, the terms of this Deed shall
     prevail.

16.2 EXERCISE OF RIGHTS

     If the Agent fails to exercise or delays exercising any right under this
     Deed, it will not operate as a waiver of that right. Any single or partial
     exercise of any right will not preclude any other or further exercise of
     that right or the exercise of any other right.

16.3 AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS AND CONSENTS

     Any provision of this Deed may be amended, supplemented or novated only if
     the Company, the Parent and the Agent agree in writing. Any waiver, consent
     or approval by the Agent under this Deed:

(a)  shall not be effective unless it is in writing;

(b)  may be given subject to any conditions thought fit by the person(s) giving
     it; and

(c)  shall be effective only in the instance and for the purpose for which it is
     given.

16.4 DETERMINATIONS

     Any determination by any Finance Party under this Deed shall be conclusive
     save for manifest error.

17.  MISCELLANEOUS

17.1 PARTIAL INVALIDITY

     The illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this
     Deed under the law of any jurisdiction shall not affect its legality,
     validity or enforceability under the law of any other jurisdiction nor the
     legality, validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Deed.

17.2 COUNTERPARTS

     This Deed may be executed in any number of counterparts.

17.3 PERPETUITY PERIOD

     The perpetuity period for each trust created by this Deed shall be 80

     the Parent under this Deed.

18.  GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

18.1 GOVERNING LAW

     This Deed shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
     England.

18.2 JURISDICTION

     Any proceedings relating to a dispute which arises out of or in connection
     with this Deed ("PROCEEDINGS") shall be brought in the courts of England,
     save the Agent may also bring Proceedings, whether or not concurrently with
     other Proceedings, in:

(a)  the courts of the state of New York or any Federal Court sitting in New
     York City; or

(b)  any other courts which would have jurisdiction but for this Clause 18.2,

     and, for the benefit of the Finance Parties, the Company and the Parent
     submits to the jurisdiction of each such court solely with respect to this
     Deed.

18.3 VENUE

     For the benefit of the Finance Parties, the Company and the Parent
     irrevocably waives any objection which it may at any time have to the
     laying of the venue of any Proceedings in any court referred to in this
     Clause 18 and any claim that any such Proceedings have been brought in an
     inconvenient forum. Each party irrevocably waives all right to trial by
     jury in any Proceedings.


IN WITNESS whereof this Deed has been duly executed as a deed on the date stated
at the beginning.
